Kishi Bashi In Concert
Kishi Bashi In Concert
Juggling violin, beatboxing and both English and Japanese vocals, Kishi Bashi is a one-man orchestra who blends a mess of ingredients into a symphony of loop-pedaled wonders. Watch him build his music one melody at a time, live in concert in Washington D.C. by Jenna Strucko Play

When Kishi Bashi begins to play, you can't help but pay attention. Juggling violin, beatboxing and both English and Japanese vocals, the one-man orchestra blends a mess of ingredients into a symphony of loop-pedaled wonders. Close your eyes, and you might even think you're hearing his music from within a cavern ? his infectious, baroque pop has that level of enveloping power.

In this exceptional performance from Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club ? recorded live on April 3, 2012, the same night he performed as part of the band Of Montreal ? Kishi Bashi builds his music from the ground up, one melody at a time, infusing life into the songs from his debut album, 151a.

Set List:

  • "Atticus, In The Desert"

  • "Bright Whites"

  • "I Am The Antichrist To You"

  • "It All Began With A Burst"

  • "Manchester"
